Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

this older one too is quite meaty and bouillony, and there’s quite some earth and pipe tobacco to boot. Perhaps a little OBE? Because it tends to get fruitier after one minute, mainly on dried ones, figs, bananas, dates, sultanas… Shall we call it Christmassy? With water: some cigar tobacco, humus, leaves, dried morels…

restaurant Palate

rather rich, with some lemons again, dried figs, quite a lot of pepper and gingerbread, and then more oranges. With water: doesn’t change much, although it would become a little earthier and more tobacco-y. More in line with the nose, in short

timer Finish

rather long, rather on bitter oranges
